epidural question help please

I am considering an epidural because I have chronic body pain that starts in my lower lumbar as well as scoliosis,degenerative disk disease and a bulging L2 I have had epidural shots before for it in my back and hips but they didn't do much so my doc stopped them I am increasingly scared that it may have worse after effects from having one in the long run has anyone had back or pain problems after having one for labor and delivery? I know I have awhile yet just becoming really worried 

With the epidural from my oldest I had no pain or anything afterwards. With my baby though I had pain like the first week home from it then starting after Thanksgiving (when baby was 4 months old) it started hurting again. Though I also slipped and fell so that may have caused it since it hurt for about a week and hasn't hurt since.

I had pain in my back where they put it in for a few months after but it did go away.

I've found after Noah that i have had back pain..i sure do hope it goes away. It's like this pressure, awful feeling..kinda like a nerve pain. I doubt it'll stay though.

I had an epidural and it was awesome. I did have a sore spot on my back for 9 months after but it was only If you touched it.

i have scoliosis..i got an epi..and my back hurt pretty bad for the first 10 months or so post partum..now im 13 month pp andi feel fine..my back feels better than it ever has.

Because of your scoliosis it could be best to have one I know with my severity of mine it makes it into a complication with the contractions so close together and I never had a problem with the epis I am in love with them pain free hrs and where I gave birth I could always ask for a different dr to do it if I felt uncomfortable with the first bcuz thats where the pain is caused from.. The dr not inserting it right... So ask for a different dr if you feel the need to..

thanks everyone you all I def feel a bit more at ease
